R33 Radio Antenna

[Amaaru]

Hey,

Bought an r33 and the antenna seems like its an electric one when I try to move it. However, I got no clue how you control it if it is electric.

Is it jst really stiff or is there some sort of button somewhere lol.

Thanks in advance

This has been coverd alot before.

It is an electric antenna. It should go up and down automaticly with your radio being turned off and on. Is there an aftermarket radio installed? someone may have disconected it as people think there ugly when up. If you have a series 2 there is a button on the dash so you can control the height of it.

Or its possible that the rope inside the mast has snaped and you will need to replace the mast and rope with an aftermarket one from aerpro.

i bought one from nissan for 80 bucks, take around an hour to fit it. u have to remove the motor and feed the new one in.

I found the power antenna wire going from my head unit -> antenna, and cut it.

This means that my antenna does not ever get a signal telling it to 'go up'.

Easy enough to re-connect: pull your dash off and get in behind your cd player (see the tutorial section I'm pretty sure) and look for some cut wires

Also, I've found www.installdr.com to be insanely useful when talking about connecting wires to a new stereo etc. Has guides for most makes telling you which wire goes where in which harness!
